Opal LaZelle is a makeup artist. Her abilities at making monsters appear real is envied by others in her profession. What they don't know is the Opal has magical skills which makes her makeup impossible to replicate. Opal has just taken a new job to work exclusively with actor Corvus Weather.

Corvus is 7 feet 2 inches tall. He's made his mark acting in horror films. He makes a perfect villain and this movie is the next step in his plan to become a star. As the filming starts, strange events are happening. The color of Cor's eye change when he is in characters. One of the other makeup artists is snippy with Corvus and her cheek is burned. Other actors seemed enthralled by him in his costume.

When Corvus' character of the Dark God makes advances to Opal, she realizes that Corvus is possessed. As time goes on, Opal negotiates with Phrixos, the demon that possess the body of Corvus, that he will allow Corvus to emerge if she replenishes his energy.

As events unfold, Opal calls on her family for help in discovering the source of the possession and the unusual energy she feels at the site.

An unusual combination of magic, and otherworldly creatures this was an intriguing story with a lot of unexpected twists and turns. At first, it seemed like it was going to take a turn into horror. Then unexpectedly, it took a different turn. My only complaint about the story was that it seemed to end abruptly. The author has definitely left it open to write a sequel. Otherwise, the story shows incredible imagination.
